Randall Flagg Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Jack, Sam, and Evander with 23 minutes of ice time tonight. Injuries suck, I hope he can lay off the kids a little bit next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Let's just hope the Larsson line doesn't turn into the Foligno - Ennis - Stafford line 2.0 Well for starters, Ennis =/= Larsson. Totally totally TOTALLY different playing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well for starters, Ennis =/= Larsson. Totally totally TOTALLY different playing style. True. It was more so to highlight the high hope we've hard for Foligno before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintwestwood Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Sabres tweeted out a gif of a beautiful angle of the Eichel goal. That shot makes my head hurt. Deceptively good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Fun game after the first, which is when I picked it up. Some thoughts: On Foligno: told you so. On Larrson: he has taken to his role very well. Really enjoying his play as of late and he earned that goal. On Gionta: he's still where possession goes to die, but he did have a good game. On Risto: welcome back. On Samson: one of the most heady hockey players I have watched. On Jack: great goal, but his post game interview was very interesting. I think TBPhD pointed this out, but his natural leadership is starting to show in these interviews, and it's very welcome. On McCabe: like Foligno, I believe many folks here still under rate him. I think he's slowly heading toward almost-a-D-stud territory. On Pysyk: saw some physical from him tonight that I liked. I think he gets traded, but maybe shouldn't. On the game: if more games were like this, I think we'd all be getting along better. On carrot cake: love it, with raisains and cream cheese frosting. That was, in fact, the topper of our wedding cake (and we didn't leave any to freeze). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Foligno has 1 highlight reel goal and it's 'I told you so'? :P Funny, ha ha, it is to laugh. I have been backing up Foligno all season. I wanted him gone prior to the start of this season, but I think he's really stepped up and become a likable third line guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I can agree he's a 3rd/4th line guy. I have no dreams of grandeur for him above that though The thing is: All great teams have very good 3rd/4th lines. Depth scoring is important. Jack and ROR aren't going to light the lamp every night. The fact that we got goals from Marcus, Nicky and Johan is wildly significant. If they don't score, we don't win (I mean over the long haul). You need a combination of speed, finesse and grit on every line, or else that line will either get pushed around or simply won't be a threat. I don't care if SabreSpace believes in Foligno (or Larsson or Deslaurier); I want those guys to believe in themselves. While we look forward to adding pieces, I still look at the pieces we have to develop and gel. Tonight's game really was won because our grinders found a scoring touch. Larsson, as has been mentioned, is becoming accustomed to his (increasingly important) niche on the team. When scoring comes from unexpected places, it loosens the whole team up. Part of Jack's problem, I think, is that he internally takes on too much and holds his stick a little too tightly as a result. He needs to play without the pressure of being the team's star and then paradoxically he will become the team's star. Support and depth is the key.

dudacek Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) It's great to see all the Foligno love tonight. He's 200 games into his career. What we've seen in the past couple months is what we are going to get for the next six years. He's not a stud, just a very useful 3rd liner. The most important question is which one of you guys is the bearded dude in the royal blue college logo thirds who is always sitting behind Bylsma? There's no way that guy isn't on Sabrespace. Yuri?

That Aud Smell Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 One of the most fun games of the year, and we hit ~10 pages. I wonder whether this is a corollary to what the radio guys say: Phone lines are quieter after a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether this is a corollary to what the radio guys say: Phone lines are quieter after a win. Only 3 pages pre-game, IIRC. The chatter didn't become general until the game got entertaining.

Rasmus_ Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Foligno's goal was a thing of beauty. Great to see Eichel get one from the post. It was a nice shot. Good win, even if it was against a fellow bottom feeder. GO SABRES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Occurs to me: Back when we were playing the Lightning, Ducks, and Caps, and we were asking, 'when do we get a run KB bad teams?' ... that time is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
